Knicks center Tyson Chandler didn’t need an MRI on his left knee, which he bruised in last week’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, but he will need one for his stiff neck, ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard reported on Twitter.

Knicks center Tyson Chandler will undergo an MRI exam on his strained neck on Tuesday, league sources say.

The Knicks are already facing the prospect of being without veteran big man Kurt Thomas, who is scheduled to have an X-ray on his sore right foot Tuesday. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News tweeted that the team fears that Thomas may be lost for the season because of a stress fracture on the foot.

The team’s only healthy bigs at the moment are Kenyon Martin, who was a free agent in February, and Marcus Camby, who still seems limited by a foot injury. Chandler, Thomas, Carmelo Anthony (knee) and Amar’e Stoudemire (knee) are all out for tonight’s game against the Utah Jazz.
